There were grumblings at the end of last year that Spider-Man 4 was halting production. Then a few days ago, Sony pulled the release date for the picture, allowing Marvel to slide Thor into Spidey’s spot (ouch). Now it is official as Sony has pulled the plug completely on Sam Raimi and Spider-Man 4. Forget John Malkovich as the Vulture, Tobey Maguire is out, and so is director Sam Raimi. Instead, Mike Fleming is told, the studio will focus on a Summer 2012 reboot from a script by Jamie Vanderbilt with a new director and a new cast. All this took…
While Sony is busy trying to figure out what it is going to do with Spider-Man 4, Marvel took advantage of the open release date to slide Thor into the spot. Sony said it wasn’t abandoning the date, a highly-coveted frame since it is the first weekend of summer. Studio said it is still hoping to complete the film in time. Thor was to have opened May 20, 2011, but will now open May 6, 2011. via Variety
Nikki Finke has a lot of good inside information, and her latest bit of tinsel town tid-bits has Sony pushing back the start date for Spider-Man 4 to some date in the future, making it very unlikely that the franchise will meet the May 11, 2011 release date. Finke goes on to speculate that Spider-Man 4 may be being retooled not only for story, but to be turned into a 3D feature. She’s probably on the right track here as ESPN and Discovery networks are announcing 3D television networks for 2010, making 3D a hot item not only for the…
Sony Online Entertainment has released another batch of images from the upcoming DC Universe Online MMORPG that arrives sometime in the future. While we patiently wait, the company keeps teasing us with these morsels, this time featuring Mr. Freeze. Take the jump for the complete gallery!
A lot of websites are reporting the rumor from their various sources that claim H’Wood is looking at Anne Hathaway to play Black Cat in the upcoming Spider-Man 4 movie. Nikki Finke has a lot of insiders at the studios and reports While Sony Pictures insists no decisions have been made, sources tell me that the producers have approached Anne Hathaway to star in the film. As we have no inside sources in H’Wood, which is probably a good idea on so many levels, we’re just going by the stories everyone else is running. I’m not sold on Hathaway in…
Sony has announced a new feature for PSP owners – comic books! At gamescom in Cologne, Germany, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced the digital reader for PSPTM (PlayStation®Portable), a new service that will allow PSP owners to access a range of media on their PSP. The digital reader service will be launched with Digital Comics this December, putting PSP owners in control of a huge library of Digital Comics from several provider partners including—you guessed it, Marvel! The Digital Comics service will allow owners to download select titles, which you can then read page by page or frame by frame.…
District 9, the Peter Jackson produced sci-fi social commentary flick, hit the number one spot over the weekend, bringing in an estimated $37 million. While not spectacular for major block buster numbers, the film reportedly cost $30 million to make, with Sony/Tri-Star buying the distribution rights for $25 million. That means as the movie gains momentum over the next couple of weeks, that there will be a lot of gravy floating around for a potential sequel if director Neill Blomkamp decides to go for it. And while you might be flying high on that news, I’ll bring you back down…
James Vanderbilt has signed by Sony to write the fourth installment of the Spider-Man movie franchise. Although that might seem like a big announcement for some, it’s kind of late news as Vanderbilt already turned in the first draft of the flick, with two other writers (David Lindsay-Abaire and Gary Ross) to do the rewrites. The bigger news is he is also on board as the writer for movies five and six. Spider-Man 4 is currently in pre-production, with a 2010 production date, so everything can be wrapped and the film in theaters by May 2011. via Variety
With the San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, some of the weird from Hollywood is starting to surge to the forefront, as we present another installment of the Rapid Roundup of Tinsel Town Rumors. Some might be true, some might be outright lies, but they are all entertaining… to someone… maybe not you… maybe that cute girl on the bus would be interested in your thoughts on the subject… or maybe not. I don’t think looking at her and saying, “So what do you think about Cameron Diaz and the Green Hornet?” will get a dialogue started.
I think this one slipped passed a couple of people, but Sony Online Entertainment and DC have unveiled Doomsday will appear in the upcoming DC Universe Online MMORPG. Born on the planet Krypton during a time when only the strongest creatures could survive, Doomsday was the result of a rapid natural selection process bred to hate all life. Doomsday’s body is covered with vicious bony spurs that can render even Superman’s skin. His endurance makes him almost impossible to kill. He is the epitome of villainous power and strength. With the ability to regenerate after every battle, Doomsday becomes bigger…
Sony Online Entertainment has updated its press site with more images from the upcoming DC Universe Online game – the MMORPG that has more than this reporter excited about the launch date. The latest teaser features the undead Goliath Solomon Grundy taking on all comers! More images after the jump.
With the major announcement that Geoff Johns is now on board the DCU Online MMORPG my interest in the game is at an all time high (until the next major announcement that is). With the news, Sony Online Entertainment released a new set of images yesterday, and we have them after the jump, just for you.
File this under Rumors We Hope are True. According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, Both Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are returning for a fourth and possibly fifth installment of the Spider-Man franchise from Marvel and Sony. It’s been a difficult road trying to get any news on if the two would bring their talents back for another installment, so the studio is contemplating shooting a fifth movie at the same time as number four just so the studio has a flick ready and waiting in the wings. Sony is taking its time officially hiring the movie’s villain since principal photography doesn’t…
